It also may lend credence to the report by Hockey Night in Canada’s Elliotte Friedman that goalie Henrik Lundqvist‘s noncommittal response to a question about re-signing in New York was a factor in Tortorella’s firing.

Heh, Sean Avery, you little shit, still an NHL fucktard after retiring.

Has any player who played under Torts demanded a trade? Serious question, I don't know the answer...

If that's happening 2-3 years from now, you have an issue, and this is where Torts' shelf life comes into question. If that's happening 2-3 weeks into the season, I don't want that player on the Canuck roster.
